Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, May 1, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
You know what I like about the Oakland Athletics? They are more likely moving to Portland than to Fremont. Here is a look at their fanbase driving home from the game.
Oh yeah, bet on Portland.
I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burned

Rex and Steve's Microphones were off
in the pregame show. Back on and it is just the stadium noise!

Rex & Steve on tranqs?
Usually they’re attempting to shout at the top of their lungs; now it’s as if they’re doing the thorazine shuffle in the booth. WTF?

Adenhart the next Nolan Ryan or Ramon Ortiz?
by bc56274 on May 1, 2008 7:08 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Since Ortiz lied about his age
and Ryan routinely had 13+ K/9’s in the minors, I’m not going out on a limb to say, neither.
Off the top of my head, I’m guessing he becomes a sort of Matt Morris type - a right-handed Jarrod Washburn, if you will - a righty-with-guile type who doesn’t miss enough bats to be a great pitcher but will have a good major league career.
Witty .sig goes here.
by scareduck on May 1, 2008 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
With a fastball already at 93-94?
There’s no reason he couldn’t miss more bats once his control improves. He has good movement and good offspeed.

He was supposed to rehab at Rancho today

He is on the team because Scioscia wants him on the team.
Until you all are in charge of the lineups, quit bitchin’ about Q. That’s all we hear every time the guy plays and it is GETTING OLD, VERY OLD OK?

RICH LEDERER
When they show the isolated shot of a Right Handed Batter in the box, BASEBALL ANALYST writer Rich Lederer is clearly visible sitting in the front row above the Angel dugout perched on the batter’s front shoulder.

Typical Duchscherer inning
against us. The question is whether he can keep it up. Man I hate junkballers though. I don’t understand why this team can’t seem to hit them.

Dude cannot throw a strike to save his behind

OK
how much will Suzuki be fined for swinging?
by jjackflash on May 1, 2008 7:33 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Well, we can take this one of two ways
A) Adenhart really blows this much.
B) Adenhart is suffering from nerves, and the fact that he’s pitching on three days rest.
~Till the Halo burns out...
by Zu Long on May 1, 2008 7:33 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
More Likely B
and seriously, giving the guy his first MLB start on 3 days’ rest seemed, ahead of time, to be a completely stupid idea.

I would say figgy at 3B, Wood at Short and Aybar at 2B but yeah

Let’s hope Adenhart can put the last inning behind him and, with a new lease on life, make amends.

Routine as they get…Cust put his glove up in front of his face and blocked his view o the ball. Ball hit the middle of his glove and landed directly behind him. Should have seen the look on Cust’s face…it was priceless! Slo mo showed him taking his eyes off the ball before it landed in his glove! Too funny!

I wonder if some of this is just a lack of catcher-pitcher sync
Adenhart is throwing some good inside pitches, but the ump isn’t calling that corner.

I love Naps offense, but it's hard to argue with results,
And Mathis just caught 18 innings of 1 run ball.

His peripherals were pretty lame in Salt Lake. He should stay there until September callups.

Or maybe next time he can get a real shot
instead of being put in his first major league game on three days rest.

poor kid… too much pressure?
i still think they’ll give him at least 1 more start before they boot him.
